Mass. breweries to raise money for California wildfire relief

Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing of Framingham is joining together with a dozen other Massachusetts breweries to raise money for Sonoma wildfire relief.

The 13 breweries will donate $1 of every pint sold at their respective taprooms on Saturday to the King Ridge Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit. Every dollar raised this weekend will be used only in Sonoma County.

“We are grateful to the Massachusetts brewing community for raising funds to provide relief to the victims of the current wildfire outbreak --- many who have lost their homes,” says Katie Stinchon, executive director of the Mass Brewers Guild. “We are stronger together, and hope that our collective contribution will provide much needed aid and inspire others to get involved.”

The participating breweries are Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing of Framingham, Castle Island Brewing Company of Norwood, Brick & Feather of Turner Falls, Harpoon Brewery of Boston, Idle Hands Craft Ales of Malden, Mayflower Brewing Company of Plymouth, Moon Hill Brewing Company/Gardner Ale House of Gardner, Night Shift Brewing Company of Everett, River Styx Brewing Company of Fitchburg, Saltbox Kitchen Brewery of Concord, Samuel Adams of Boston, Trillium Brewing Company of Canton and True North Brewing Company of Ipswich.
